1-Sample Proportion Test

Analyze Phase

Test whether an observed proportion (defect rate, pass rate, yield) is significantly different from a target or historical value. Uses the z-test for proportions.

Input Summary Statistics

Events, defects, passes, etc.

e.g. 0.20 for 20%

Observed: 23.5%Target: 20.0%

Blue bar = observed proportion. Vertical line = hypothesised proportion.

Hypotheses

H₀: p = p₀ = 20.0%

H₁: p ≠ p₀ (two-tailed)

No Significant Difference

z = 1.237, p = 0.2159 ≥ 0.05. Fail to reject H₀ — the observed proportion (23.5%) is not significantly different from 20.0%.
